The St. Joseph’s Altar is a beloved Catholic tradition that began in Sicily during the Middle Ages. When a devastating drought brought famine to the land, the faithful prayed for the intercession of St. Joseph. When the long-awaited rains came, they prepared a table of thanksgiving, sharing their food with the poor in gratitude for God’s providence.

Today, the altar is beautifully adorned with breads, pastries, flowers, and symbolic foods, each recalling God’s abundant blessings and St. Joseph’s loving care for the Holy Family and the Church. On this Solemnity, we honor St. Joseph’s paternal intercession by offering the prayers and works of our day in thanksgiving for graces received and in petition for our special intentions.

A cherished custom is to make a donation to the altar in memory of a deceased loved one and to display their photo as a sign of loving remembrance. The Feast of St. Joseph offers a joyful pause during our Lenten journey, giving us a foretaste of the Easter joy to come as we break our fast.

You are warmly invited to join us after the 6:00 p.m. Holy Mass in honor of St. Joseph to learn more about this rich tradition, share in a festive meal, and support those in need through our parish food drive.

Please contact our rectory office to let us know if you are coming so we can prepare enough food:  718-549-8053.

If you would like to contribute to the Saint Joseph’s Altar, please let us know when you call the office, leave your number, and we will get back to you to make arrangements.

To include a photo of a deceased loved one on the altar, kindly drop off a framed photo at the rectory office with a donation of your choice. Please tape the name of the deceased with your own name and phone number to the back of the frame.

Food drive donations will be collected at the door along with the $15 entry fee. Kindly bring non-perishable items only.
